Simone Biles accomplished the remarkable once more. At the 2023 Xfinity US Gymnastics Championships, the 26-year-old secured gold in the all-around category. A true gymnastics prodigy, she shattered records by becoming the first gymnast to claim eight US all-around titles. Beyond her all-around victory, the 7-time Olympic medalist triumphed in both the balance beam and floor exercise events.

Amidst the applause, one might wonder: Where was NFL safety husband Jonathan Owens during this milestone? The rigorous NFL demands and geographic constraints hindered his presence by Biles’ side in the arena. Nevertheless, despite his absence, Simone Biles ensured her Green Bay Packers player husband received a perfect shout-out.
